Testimonials
"The International Herald Tribune has long valued The Moscow Times as an excellent source of news about Russia. Since February 2006, this mutual respect – and shared news values – have led the two papers to form a valuable partnership that has made the IHT the only English-language international daily available in Moscow's morning, on the day it is printed there. Since it started out 15 years ago (edited by Meg Bortin, now a senior editor at the IHT), The Moscow Times has shown that it is possible to maintain high journalistic standards and to use those best practices to shed valuable light on events in Russia, which are often hard for foreigners to understand. Its reporters and editors are professional; the quality of their work is evident in the large number of ex-Moscow Times journalists who now work at other media, from The Wall Street Journal to Bloomberg News. The MT is a rightly esteemed and treasured part of the Moscow landscape, and the IHT can only wish the newspaper – and its sister publication in St. Petersburg – continued success in the future."
